| I had to leave early today for the airport, so no run this morning.
However...I arrived in Palm Springs just after lunch and could not resist...I don't have to be anywhere until dinner.
4.04 miles at 2:30pm. Temp about 80 degrees with a light breeze. It was awesome to run in shorts again!
I get 2 more days of this. The early morning temps are suposed to be in the upper 50's. I'm going to try and take advantage!

| I got a late start today as we were up late yesterday with the excitement of the arrival of granchild #6 yesterday at 4:47pm. Mom and baby are doing Great. Grandchild #7 is due in September.
I told myself that this would help get me heat acclimated. Well it better....it was 80 degrees by the time I finished!
18.09 mile loop all inside town. Around mile 13 I went through the Wellness Center and they were setting up for a family fun fair. Looked awesome!
Longest run so far this year. 20+ next Saturday?

| It was raining when I woke up this morning, so I was a bit worried. Luckily the rain let up right before I picked up Troy. We drove to the Pocatello Marathon start line and ran the course. It was a beautiful morrning with temps starting at 48 and ending at 63. Very comfortable.
We saw TONS of bike riders from the annual Spinderella event during the miles from Inkom to Century H.S.
We ran 20.06 miles. My first 20+ miler in almost 2 years......

| I took most of this week off from running because I woke up last Sunday with what feels like the beginnings of Plantar Faciitis. I have had it twice before, so I know the warning signs. That being said, we did an easier run today....and no big downhills.
I met Troy at his house at 6:00am and we just ran a big loop from there. 11.08 easy miles and so far, the foot feels OK. Tomorrow morning will be the moment of truth.

| Due to the poor air quality I did not run today. The PM2.5 was at 157 this morning in Pocatello due to all the smoke from the fires in the Region. That puts it in the Extremely Unhealthy range. Yesterday I had to stop a couple times and hack up some nasty stuff....and the air is worse today.

| First run in 12 days...
I caught the worst cold/virus that I can recall. I woke up on Thursday, August 23 with fever/chills/sore throat/cough...the works. I figured I had 9 days until the marathon to get healthy, but it was not to be. I got progressively worse and could not breathe much without coughing/choking. At first I thought it might be the poor air quality we had, but it was indeed a nasty cold.
I carefully ran 5.03 miles today trying not to breathe heavy so I wouldn't cough. I stayed on the 1 mile loop I live on, just in case. I even had cough drops stashed in my pocket. I made it through, but had a pretty good coughing spell when I cooled down.
Hopefully tomorrow will be better.
I am now looking for a marathon later in the fall to make up for Saturday.
